Daniel.
Heck, my head is starting to hurt.
I think I probably made Silver in my first year, and then progressed to Gold the following year. However, as I understand it you can make Gold in one year by earning 50k miles in the appropriate class:-
"What are the qualification criteria for the different tiers of membership?
KrisFlyer Elite Gold
A membership upgrade to KrisFlyer
Elite Gold status is attained by earning 50,000 Elite miles any class of service on Singapore Airlines, SilkAir or any Star Alliance airline
during your 12-month Elite qualification period, and crediting them to your KrisFlyer account.
In this case, an Elite qualification period is a 12-month period which is tracked from your date of enrolment as a KrisFlyer member, or membership upgrade to Elite Silver."
I've bolded the bits of the rule which seem to support the 50k in one year rule and are particularly relevant to your situation.
